Oofj - Acute Feast - Ltd Edition Incl. Holograp

LA-based electronic duo OOFJ are elated to announce the release of their
sophomore album Acute Feast. The brainchild of real-life couple Jenno
Bjørnkjær and Katherine Mills-Rymer, the LA-based electronic duo
OOFJ met in New York City while Bjørnkjær was working on music for Lars
Von Trier’s Melancholia. This chance encounter developed into both a
romantic and sonic chemistry that would eventually lead to the
couple collaborating on music that formed the foundations of OOFJ. After
winning critics over in June with the sensual nostalgic aura of
“Snakehips", OOFJ released “You’re Always Good” on Noisey. The track
starts with orchestral strings paired with thick, foreboding basslines
and ends in a rhythmic explosion featuring the frenetic jungle-esque
percussion played by Trentemøller’s Jacob Hoyer and Mills-Rymer’s darkly
romantic vocals. Most recently, The Guardian premiered the video for “I
Forgive You". The third single off their upcoming album Acute Feast is a
sweeping, hauntingly lush track of duplicity. OOFJ created a song that
feels like a restrained underwater heartbreak - a tale about perfect
beings, aliens, being imperfect.
Equal parts glamorous and nightmarish, with a glittery seductive tone to
it, the track hints at the otherworldly, almost hyper-real world that
OOFJ don’t just reside in, but have orchestrated. With the eagerly-
anticipated sophomore LP Acute Feast, to be released on April 21,
“Snakehips,” ‘You’re Always Good” and ” I Forgive You” serve as the
perfect introduction to a band sure to be one of 2015’s exciting new
acts..
Vital Sales Points:
“It’s a darkly romantic paean from a cinematic band who has provided yet
another perfect soundtrack - this time, to the e

Edizioni Mondo - Collezione

Collezione MONDO
The name MONDO has its roots in “MONDO MOVIES", an italian movie genre
born in the 60’s. Mondo movies are characterized by documentary-like
content that addresses several topics from around the world ("mondo").
The Mondo label has the goal to produce music that is descriptive of
concepts, images and environments. Mondo is inspired by library music, a
genre frequently used as theme or background music in radio, film and
television in that very same period. Production music libraries
typically offer a broad range of musicastyles and genres describing
everything ranging from deserts to war and sports. Library music
composers and session performers had no constraint at all. They
typically work anonymously, have rarely become known outside their
professional circle and they have produced what probably is the most
creative music catalogue ever. The Mondo productions started with four
releases to describe locations: dedicated to seascapes; scenarios range
from sea fauna to poaching, from natural parks to sea dunes. Landscapes
surrounded by plains, mountains, lakes, forests,beaches and marches. A
land that still recalls a legends, fantastic tales that tell the
story,the events ,the origin of a real place,when past and present
coexist in a perfect harmony. Four records to describe the seasons. A
journey through the rise and fall of the sun,the bright light of a
spring day, the warm wind that dissolves the sand on it’s way to the
rainy season.

Various Artists - Cocoon Compilation O (6lp Box + Cd)

It is almost hard to believe and we are looking for that wormwhole that brought us here as we are
already looking at the arrival of compilation number “O".
And we rather do not start thinking about the endless wordplays we could do with the “Story Of O",
however we have to admit that this special “O-Edition” comes with an extra portion of deepness, soul
and yes, even sex! Let’s proove this right from the start with Roland M. Dill and “The Messenger". Dill
presents an epic and cineastic masterpiece full of emotions and a perfect introduction for our O
selection. This is the spirit that we mean when we think about hot party nights in Ibiza, that magic
touch that we feel when we start the nights and looking for the first beats. Russian based producer
Tripmastaz offer us these first beats of the night with their minimal house track „Grindin’ “. The cool
bassline and the groovin tool-like beat programming represents the new school of deep minimal house
producers who offer much more these days then a simple ableton loop and a filter. Deepness and a
certain feeling for house and techno is the trade mark and the two following artists follow that in
perfection. Dana Ruh ("If You Dont Know A Name“) and youANDme („Jungle Book“) present two cool
tech-house productions with rolling basslines and fat house chords merged with a versatile and driving
drum programming. Defintely two of the best tunes out of

Various Artists - Cocoon Ibiza 2015 (Mixed By Danah Ruh & Tini)

Ibiza is known for that very special and unique vibe. This atmosphere
full of deep emotions mixed with wild energy, salty air and hot summer
nights. This is what we want to give to you and what we tried to present
right from the start of our great ibiza adventure more than 15 years
ago! All led by the big mastermind mister Sven Väth who started back
then on the white island with his vision and made it come true more and
more year by year. Looking back at 15 editions of his mix-cd-series „The
Sound Of The (…) Season“ we have to state that these mixes are acoustic
documents for contemporary witnesses, the recored soundtracks of our
lifes on the island for all these great and unforgettable summer
seasons! However Sven also called the right artists and friends to his
side to help him with that project. People who understood what he had
and still has in mind and what kind of creative input is needed for all
this. Artists who identify themselves with the concept of love and
music… love for the music and of course music full of love… all combined
and merged with a large portion of hedonism and artistic energy to
create the perfect setting to celebrate all those countless memorable
sunrises. For this season we asked again two artists of our line-up to
do us a favor and create a mix that should reflect this special ibiza
feeling. A mix that puts us in the right mood for what will come over
the next couple of months. This year we are proud to present two mixes
by Dana Ruh and tINI who hit the nail on the head with their selections!
Their mixes turned out to be super deep and almost soulful and feature
artists like Persuader, Nina Soul, Third Wave Trax and Aruba (tINI-Mix)
or Osunlade, DJ Pierre, Agnes and Move D (Dana Ruh Mix)… just to name a
few. Two amazing mixes that create this special emotional and unique
atmosphere we want to spread with cocoon ibiza. This is the sound for
our sundowns (and sunrises), for all those hot evenings and the perfect
soundtrack for the beach o
